into his throat. The blood spurted

LEXINGTON, KY, October News
was received here last night that moro
trouble was brewing in Morchead, the
scene of the recent Tolliver outrage.
The report says: This morning eigh-
teen men, armed with Winchesters,
came from Soljers station, on the Co
lumbus and Ohio road, to Morehead.
1t is said there are, or will be, one hun
drod and fifty men armed and secreted
around the town. These men, it seems,
belongto the Logan faction, and are gath
cring because news has been brought
that a party Of Toliver's friends intend
to come from Elliott county and burn
the town of Boone. Logan is in More
head, and it was he who ordered the as
scmbling Of the men. 1t is certain that
the messengers sent to bring in more
men got on the train at Morehead
to day and that A. W. Young boarded
The train at Mount Sterling and went to
Morehead. Everybody feels that there
is trouble of the very worst sort ahead.
Judge DeIIazen will hold special term
of court at Morehead some time this
month for the trial of Harris diids
Pendulum for conspiracy TO murder
Judge Cole and Taylor Young.

Warrington Notes.

WASHINGTON, October 5.-Mrs.
Rachel Stong, wife of Hon. William
Strong, Justice Of the Supreme Court
Of the United States on the retired list,
died at her residence in this city shortly
after II o'clock last night of consump-
ton; aged sixty-seven years.
The United States Supreme Court
will convene at noon on Tuesday next.
The number of cases on the docket to-
day is Lie, an increase OF thirty-seven
as compared with the same date last
year. Sixteen cases in which argument
had been heard were left without deci-
sion when the court adjourned for the
summer in May last, the most impor-
tant OF them being the telephone cases.
1t is probable the court, in accordance
with its usual custom, will adjourn on
the first day OF the term after hearing
motions and acting upon applications
for admission TO the bar, and decisions
in the pending cases can therefore
hardly be expected before Monday,
October 18th. The decision in the tele-
phone cases will not be rendered, II ia
thought, before November.

REIDSVILLE.
4 destructive Fire-A Saw-Mill and
Other Property Burned.


REIDsyILLE, n. c., October 5.-The
large steam saw-mill, grist-mill. and
box-factory, owned and operated by j.
II. Walker & Co., i'll this place, was
destroyed by fire, which broke out at 4
O'Clock this morning. The contents OF
their well packed undergrad attached
were also destroyed, and it was only by
almost superhuman efforts Of the fire
department that tho flames were pre-
vented from spreading to the adjoining
buildings. The cash valuation OF the
property was estimated at $40, 900, and
the insurance is for 80, 900.
The blame for the conhagration rests,
it is said, largely upon the watchman,
who was asleep, and consequently the
fire WAS beyond control before dlscov-
cred and an alarm sounded. The in
tensity OF the heat was so great that
freight trains loaded with cotton were
delayed several hours before they could
pass, and telegraphwires and poles
were much damaged.

The outlook for q largely-attended

is propitious.
The exhibits in the various depart
ments are equal, if not superior, to
those Of any Of the preceding five an

The races will he the most exciting
of any previous fair. The purses will
most probably lie between Doswell's

The grand parade OF the Ragamuf-

baby show is an interesting attraction.
